Microsoft November 23, 2015 Certificate Trust List Update Details

Microsoft November 23, 2015 Certificate Trust List Update Details

Edited 12/4 to show changed trust bits.
Microsoft has improved the transparency of their root certificate updates and the table, but clearly more is needed because people who do follow it are still taken by surprise.  http://hexatomium.github.io/2015/11/24/ms-quietly-adds-5-new-trusted-root-certs/


Microsoft's official announcements are now at aka.ms/rootupdates, also Jody Cloutier who manages the program has been posting notices on the CABForum mailing list.

Below is a summary of the last few updates, including detail on the November updates.

August 2015 update just added additional trust bits for two Certificate Authorities, allowing them to be trusted for more purposes.

"Guang Dong’s root, GDCA TrustAUTH R5 ROOT, for EV (Extended Validation)"
"Government of India, CCA’s root, CCA India 2015, for Server Authentication and Code Signing"

September 1, 2015 was an unscheduled update to replace a root that was allowed to expire.  

"an unscheduled update to the Trusted Root Store to update the expiration of the A-Trust-NQual-03 root."

November 23, 2015 includes the addition of four new certificates and removal of 10.


New Certificate Authorities

No new Certificate Authorities joined the program this update.
